I wouldn't mind being Musk - except for his looks, personality, kids and businesses.

All those kids would be annoying. C3PO is a real handful apparently.

Recession? Only if you believe vibes over numbers. 🤣

80% of those fund manager clowns running on vibes too 🤣

A 0.3% reduction in GDP is in practical terms a rounding error, need to see any adjustment to the number if any in a couple of months.

The first rounding error in 3 years. What are the chances.

Same in every country, UK numbers always adjusted after the initial announcement.

Large reason why the crime is so low in China because they won't accept these "immigrants" or "economic migrants"

Who actually tries to go to China? There are many reasons why you wouldn't even put them on the shortlist and immigration policy isn't one of them.

Why What's wrong with China?
Do you just read what the west propaganda says about it? Not really much difference between them and us these days apart from immigration policy 🤷🏻‍♂️

Universities are now a hot-bed of leftie woke dogma.

And Trump has frozen the money from Harvard.

nice.

Watch all the purple-haired bolt-nosed loons running around in an apoplexy. Now that the real World has rattled their Ivory Towers. Had they moderated their views, for the last twenty years, maybe they wouldnt have suffered a Conservative backlash.

Hong Kong is part of China but like Macau retains it's own identity and laws, civil service, trade agreements, aviation links etc etc.

Many professionals, particularly in the high tech sectors are going into China, the chip sector is very active, as is education, financial services and many others.

If you only know what you see in the Western media you get a very skewed view IMO

Trump's sit down with Carney was brutal - I don't know what Carney can really do about it to be honest.

Very tough times ahead for Canada.
